<H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Module mod_dir</H1>
This module is contained in the <code>mod_dir.c</code> file, and
-is compiled in by default. It provides for directory indexing.
+is compiled in by default. It provides for "trailing slash" redirects and
+serving directory index files.
<h2>Summary</h2>
-This module controls the directory indexing. The index of a directory
-can come from one of two sources:
+The index of a directory can come from one of two sources:
<ul>
<li>A file written by the user, typically called <code>index.html</code>.
-The <A HREF="#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</A> directive sets the name
-of this file.
-<li>Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. The other directives
-control the format of this listing. The <A HREF="#addicon">AddIcon</A>,
-<A HREF="#addiconbyencoding">AddIconByEncoding</A> and
-<A HREF="#addiconbytype">AddIconByType</A> are used to set a list of
-icons to display for various file types; for each file listed, the
-first icon listed that matches the file is displayed.
+The <A HREF="#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</A> directive sets
+the name of this file.
+This is controlled by <code>mod_dir</code>.
+<li>Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. This is provided by
+<a href="mod_autoindex.html"><code>mod_autoindex</code></a>.
</ul>
-
+The two functions are separated so that you can completely remove
+(or replace) automatic index generation should you want to.
+<p>A "trailing slash" redirect is issued when the server receives a
+request for a URL <SAMP>http://servername/foo/dirname</SAMP> where
+<SAMP>dirname</SAMP> is a directory. Directories require a trailing
+slash, so <code>mod_dir</code> issues a redirect to
+<SAMP>http://servername/foo/dirname/</SAMP>.
